Last evening the Spanish public broadcaster TVE aired on its first channel a special show to choose three female dancers to join Rodolfo Chikilicuatre, Disco and Gráfica in Belgrade on May 24th. The programme was not blessed with high viewing numbers, and was the 5th most watched option in yesterday's prime time.
The special show last evening was presented by Santiago Segura, popular Spanish actor and showman who is responsible for the lyrics of Baila el chiki chiki, this year's Spanish entry. The programme featured several music performances – amongst them, one of the 2008 eurostars, Ukraine's Ani Lorak who performed Shady lady – and the six finalists of the dance contest to accompany Rodolfo Chikilicuatre in Belgrade. The three lucky winners are Leticia Martín, María Ángeles Mas y Cecilia López, all selected by Spanish choreographer Mayte Marcos.
However, TVE did not manage to attract the audience. Dansin chiki chiki could only gather 2 million viewers (10.9% share), widely behind football match Manchester United vs FC Barcelona on Antena 3 TV (7.8 million; 45.3% share), music programme Operación Triunfo on Telecinco (3.6 million; 22.6% share), tv series House on Cuatro (3 million; 15.8% share) and movie Bad Boys – Dos policías rebeldes on Antena 3 TV (2.2 million; 16.3% share). Therefore, Dansin chiki chiki became the 5th most watched option on yesterday's prime time in Spain.
